My 122's gear that were stuck in neutral when I tried to start it the other morning did indeed shift easily when I tried it with the engine off, and does roll in gear, and so the stuck gears are "not engaging" the tranny as Ron and Tim pointed out in response to my previous post. Thanks for the tip there, as it's a relief to know that the problem doesn't lie in the tranny. I was in a hurry to run errands when I encountered the problem (as often happens), and it did not even occur to me to obviously try shifting with the engine off. So will turn next to Shayne's tip of bleeding the slave cylinder tomorrow and adjusting the clutch. I read my Hayne's manual and it seems pretty straightforward, have bled my brakes before, and the weather's supposed to be good tomorrow, so will only need to round up "the services of an assistant" as the Hayne's manual suggested (who writes the text for these things?!).

I'm assuming I can use the brake fluid for the clutch or do I need something diferent (I didn't install the new clutch master cylinder).

And out of curiousity, why is a slave cylinder called a "slave cylinder?" I'm guessing because it functions only according to the operation of the master cylinder?

Thanks very much to all for the tips and info; hopefully I'll be up and running tomorrow afternoon,

Holly
